Don't they have to rework their refineries in order to replace Canadian oil? Instead the refineries currently working with Canadian oil are specifically built to process dillbit, due to having been built to use Venezuelan dillbit originally.

I suppose Albertans in oil and gas should call Danielle and tell her to stop the clown tricks and join Team Canada now.

I think you understand it correctly. 😂

No disagreement.

While I do not want to vote for Singh, the leader, I would vote for the NDP candidate in my riding if the polls don't show them far behind.

Perhaps not good but less bad is what we look for.

Well done keeping your composure while explaining!

Housing construction isn't funded by existing housing investment. It's generally funded by debt. Private or public, just like any other capital intensive endeavor. And debt isn't created by lending people's savings but by creating new money. By public or private lenders. (Private lenders create money too.) The only thing that is really needed ahead of time is labor, equipment and materials available. Financial capital is created on demand to mobilize those real resources.

Your PC is an unused server.

This is one of those situations when you just nod and take the endorsement.

The repair:

It's not exactly trivial if you have to change the connector of the replacement battery, but it's not difficult either. AAA batteries would be way simpler and safer for most people.

An army surplus ammo can with its gasket removed.

Yeah, if the cells are standard, available and easy to replace and safe if abandoned, it's not a huge deal replacing them every few years.

Especially now that NiMH rechargeables are so affordable and power dense.

TBH, this is a risk for all "value" devices that don't have to pass NA/EU electrical certification. No cert means the cell can be whatever part was cheap and alright enough. Longer term reliability without specific testing isn't obvious. Every now and then I fall into the rabbit hole of trying to remember all the different devices with potentially questionable cells. The occasion today is likely to trigger another sweep.

While true for the component itself, there's material difference for any caps surrounding it. Sure the chipset would work fine at 40, 50, 70°C. However electrolytic capacitors lifespan is halved with every 10°C temperature increase. From a brief search it seems solid caps also crap out much faster at higher temps but can outlast electrolytic at lower temps. This is a consideration for a long lifespan system. The one in my case is expected to operate till 2032 or beyond.

I don't think other components degrade in any significant fashion whether they run at 40 or 60°C.

Unfortunately I didn't take before/after measurements but this thick plastic sheet cannot be good for the chipset thermals. 🥲

Found the GNOME developer.

It is. I just wish it wasn't this expensive. Will have to live with it for a while. 😅
